The Arctic is losing its ice faster than ever
This is a continuation on an earlier post called “It keeps getting warmer, no matter what some people say“.
Just like the global warming deniers say the Arctic ice is approximately the same as it was last year, as data from Nasa clearly shows. But, the Nasa data also shows that the old and thick Arctic ice is melting much faster than previous years.
Data shows that ice older than two years have decreased from 60% to 30% of the total ice mass in Arctic.
Seelye Martin, manager of the Cryospheric Sciences Program at Nasa headquarters in Washington DC, said that “although this March the area is slightly larger than last March, the area of [thick] perennial ice has reached an all time low.” And he concludes that “the volume of Arctic ice continues to decrease.”
